Mr. Scott said that the solicitor felt the definition covered the problem since a service station‘s primary service is notcarwashing. "It wouldn‘t eliminate handâ€" washing,"‘ he said. Mr. Scott told committee that the object of the new inition was to prevent adâ€" “m of extra bays to serâ€" e stations for the sole purpose of washing cars. He said the city had been eceiving complaints from ?gular carwash operators bout this practice. Alderman Bob Henry and Charles Voelker both objecâ€" ted as they had at the preâ€" vious meeting that service stations â€" which _ presently wash customers cars would be restricted to doing it by hand and that this service to their customers would beâ€" come uneconomical. Committee members said the wording was too general and would restrict service station owners from washâ€" ing cars because it referred to mechanized or pressurâ€" ized equipment. The council city developâ€" ment committee again reâ€" jected the definition of a carwash as presented to them by chief planner Don Scott. The committee had asked Mr. Scott to discuss the deâ€" finition with the city soliciâ€" tor and bring it back.

Henry noted that ouncil sets new boungg’[m_ He said that the solicitor felt it would be better to redefine carwashes, since an attempt at changing the service station regulations Alderman â€" Voelker and Herb Epp both suggested that allowing only driveâ€" through washes independâ€" ent â€" of _ service _ stations would solve the problem, specially since many extraâ€" bay operations are not driveâ€"through . _ Earlier in the meeting the planner had said there was the option of changing the service station definiâ€" tion in the zoning bylaw or redefining the carwash. The committee suggestâ€" ed that Mr. Scott consult with the solicitor and reâ€" turn with a new definition. with the proposed definiâ€" tion, the bylaw would be alâ€" most impossible to adminsâ€" ter. ‘""We‘d have to check every service station conâ€" tinually,"" he said. Club members hope the upcoming show will be the biggest ever held in Canada.

There are possible technical probâ€" lems and changes in preâ€" liminary plans. In other business the‘comâ€" mittee recommended that council allow the city staff to proceed with soil tests on the proposed arena site on Parkside Drive and with preliminary negotiations to determine the price of the land. The city would use the land for parks and recreaâ€" tion _ purposes and for street allowances. The committee also approâ€" ved in principle a condeminâ€" ium proposal for a town house development on Milâ€" ford Avenue.

Waterloo has also decided in favor of a minor change which would smove the boundary with Bridgeport so that residents on the Schmitâ€" tsville Road would be inâ€" cluded with the village.
